Ultra-premium Rémy Martin Centaure de Diamant launches

Rémy Martin claims to be quenching demand for an ultra-premium Cognac expression with the launch of the £800 Centaure de Diamant in select European markets.

Rémy Martin Centaur de Diamant is the last expression created by outgoing cellar master Pierrette Trichet

The fine Champagne blend of 20-50-year-old eaux de vie will form the pinnacle of the core Rémy Martin Cognac range in the UK, France, Belgium and Russia.

Created by outgoing Rémy Martin cellar master Pierrette Trichet in 2010, Centaure de Diamant is said to deliver notes of fig, prune, orange marmalade, hazelnuts and coffee beans.

The expression, named after the Rémy Martin centaur emblem, is presented in a diamond-shaped decanter complete with cabochon stopper, in a lined gift box.

Anne-Laure Pressat, UK brand ambassador for Rémy Martin, said Centaure de Diamant complimented the existing portfolio of three expressions, as there is a “demand for higher quality in the UK”.

Exclusively available in Harrods from 16-31 June, Centaure de Diamant will become more widely available in limited quantities from specialist retailers from 1 July. It will also be available in global duty free.

The release is the last created by Trichet, who passes the role of cellar master on to protégé Baptiste Loiseau.
